The start to the 2013-14 NBA season has not exactly been kind to Houston Rockets center Omer Asik.

Asik's year has been rocky since the moment Dwight Howard was signed, a move that prompted Asik to ask for a trade. The players have since struggled to play alongside one another, with Howard taking the bulk of the minutes.

There lack of chemistry won't be an issue for at least the next week, as Asik is set to miss a week for a right thigh contusion, according to Jason Friedman of Rockets.com. He will be re-evaluated after sitting out the week.
